I decided to add apples from my lunch, gifts for GAIAs children, the ants and whatever else out here likes sweet apples.
I saw a dandelion fluff float by on the air. I made a prayer.
May all beings within the waters, and out of the waters, regardless of race or species, be happy, healthy, whole … and free.
I saw a second dandelion fluff go by and said another prayer.
May all beings of the air be happy, healthy, whole and free.
There are heart rocks in the river.
My beautiful view as I tip my head back in relaxation.
The sun has graced me with its presence, shining upon my face, it’s intensity diminished ever so slightly by the leaves of GAIAs beautiful tree. You see, I’ve found a shady spot along the river on this bright and warm day.
Butterfly’s keep passing by me as the travel along the waters path.
Another dandelion fluff inspires another prayer.
GAIA, May YOU heal, for when you heal we all heal. May circumstances shift in such a way that healing comes to all areas of your beautiful self.
Blessings abound when our Mother is healthy.
I smelled urine a moment ago and said a big thank you, for this means people are watering the soil, rather than soiling the water.
Do you see a face in that rock?
A pale spider of a pretty good size just lowered itself from GAIAs tree and tried to land on me. I averted its path, but brought no harm (that I’m aware of).
Shadow play. The grass and it’s image on the rock. Both are real, yet one cannot exist without the other … and both cannot exit without the Light.
A few little pretty’s …
GAIA definitely showed her Love today. I feel so blessed.
The waters, they rush and they swirl and they lap against the edges of the bank. So beautiful.
We are becoming. Surrender to your changes. Release your fear. Trust this powerful process.
Today I remember the infinite rhythm of life. I will not be afraid of the darkness for it is always followed by the light. I will not be surprised when the light seems to fade for it is just a part of the process. I know life is a circle of birth, death, and rebirth. I will not fear. I will embrace all that I am becoming and welcome change.
Focus on how far you have come. Not how far you have to go. You will find help in unexpected places.
I am a beautiful, courageous traveler on a journey toward ultimate happiness. Today I am grateful for how far I have come and how much I’ve been given. I am grateful for the companions I find along the trail. I will remember that I have been placed on this Earth the discover what I really want to do and to be true to myself. I will find my own way and I will live my dream.
Gently flow through the turbulence. Life has the ability to shape you. Bend, don’t break.
Today when the storms of life come blowing I will bend with them but not break. I will be brave and let go of the shore with courage. I will not be caught up with the things I cannot change but focus on what I can and flow. I will swim in the great sea of life and not be afraid because the winds of positive change are on my side.
Something wonderful is happening. Change is in the air. Open yourself to blessings on their way.
Today I know that something wonderful is going to happen. I will keep my eyes and ears open for the guideposts to these unknown blessings I give thanks for change and the faith that life is about to get even better than I ever thought possible.
Live with compassion. Open your heart to all life forms. Be an angel with hands.
Today I will do the right thing, even if no one is watching. I will remember that everyone if fighting some kind of battle and I will show compassion. Life is filled with opportunities to be kind and today, right now, I will be the one who lifts others higher.
This morning I decided to visit the coast line, and oh how happy I am that I made that choice!
It was quite busy! I guess everyone had cabin fever, lol.
The children were so beautiful as they ran and played in the ocean. One brought the remnants of a tiny crab to his father who told him to drop it. haha
There were flowers everywhere!
This lily was actually HUGE
Apparently, the chickens have hatched, and they are dancing.
I was visited by Dragonfly. He kept flying around me. I took many photos, however these two are the only ones that weren’t blurry. What a beauty!
Of course, what is a day at the beach without ice cream?
On the road again … viewpoints!
Took a curvey route back to the city. Stopped to look at a creek and another friend said hello!
I drove all day with the windows down, the wind blowing my hair around, refreshing my energy body, blessing me in a way incomparable.
Aaaahhhhhh …. relaxation and happiness in the fullest.
Renewal of Peace: It is important to maintain peace with all aspects of your life, mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. Inner imbalances can often manifest in your daily life if you don’t make time to take care of yourself. It doesn’t matter whether or not your imbalance is a negative one. Being optimistic to the point of believing yourself to be invincible can also lead to challenges. Balance is best achieved through listening to your body. Take time for yourself. Allow your inner power to heal and return to being peace-filled. This will assist you and make you stronger.
Keep your dreams alive: Start to identify plans and actions that will lead you to achieve your dreams and goals. Your dreams can become your reality. This is a time when you need to be able to apply detailed planning in order to manifest your dreams and realize your goals. You need to remain focused on the practical side of things. Keep your feet firmly planted on the ground. It is easy to be distracted by more ideas and concepts. Keep focused on what is realistic and achievable. Your common sense and pragmatic approach will lead you to a solution that actually works. Begin taking steps that will bring you closer to your dreams.
Shift your energy: Clear your energy, the energy of those around you and the energy of your environment. Winds of change are blowing into your awareness. In order to prepare for what is ahead, begin a process of renewal. This process might include clearing away the old that no longer has a purpose in your life. It also might mean changing old habits and patterns that you are ready to release. An example might be actively avoiding overly sugary foods if you are trying to eliminate excessive sugar from your diet. View this as a time of shedding that can be achieved with ease and grace.

You will be victorious. Teamwork or a partnership may be better than going it alone. Synergy is important right now. Delegation is useful.
Boudicca’s very name means “bringer of victory.” She did what no other could do in her time: she was a queen, a warrior, a leader, and a mother. She was real. She was Boudicca.
When the Romans invaded Britain, things changed greatly for the native tribes. Some were wiped out, some were subjugated, and some became Roman allies. None were united. When Boudicca’s husband, king of the Iceni, died, he left his kingdom to his wife, daughters, and the Roman emperor, but the Romans did not honor his will. As the Romans did not recognize inheritance of land through the maternal line, they annexed the kingdom, just as if it were conquered territory, and the king’s women had no leadership rights. Boudicca, a tall, strong, red headed warrior queen, protested this.
The Romans came to Boudicca’s village to pass their judgement and violently attacked Boudicca and her daughters. They took all the food in the village and prohibited other Romans to trade with them. Additionally, the Romans slaughtered druids (who screamed curses upon them as the Romans landed upon the beach), burned down their sacred groves, and poisoned their holy wells. All these acts triggered a revolution within Boudicca; she decided that she would not only war with Rome but also attempt to unite the tribes of the Britons.
Joining with a neighboring tribe, Boudicca led an army that decimated a major Roman stronghold, the Romans certainly underestimating her ferocity and strategic prowess. Battle after battle, she eventually reached Londinium, which she joyfully burned to the ground. Archaeologists have discovered a charred layer of ash almost half a meter thick under modern London, courtesy of Boudicca.
Boudicca was eventually defeated, though it is not known exactly where and when she died. She was given a royal burial, and her army was disbanded, though not before damaging the Roman army and achieving what the Britons had sought all along – respect.
Her legend lives on. Boudicca has become a siren symbol of unity and of revolution. Her energy has been channeled by everyone from Queen Victoria (who had a statue made in her honor that sits on Westminster Pier in London) to numerous painters and writers of books, movies, and television series. When you feel downtrodden, are a victim of injustice, or think that you cannot possibly win, call upon the Queen of the Iceni to assist you! Her energy is one for when you feel you are unjustly being ignored and are not receiving the respectful treatment from others that you deserve.
When you feel it is time to stand up for just or respectful treatment and you want to call others to you for a positive purpose, or even just feel the unity of your own purpose and various energies, you can call on Boudicca.
You will need three small stones for this.
Go outside. Take a big, deep breath. Hold the stones in your hand.
Stand with your legs slightly apart, knees relaxed, in a stable, balanced pose. Raise one arm in a salute of victory. Say strongly,
Daughter of the Hare,
Queen of the Inceni,
Boudicca, hear my call!
I call you to join with me. I have a battle to win.
I know you will show me my strength and my will.
(Tell Boudicca your Issue)
Unite with me, great Boudicca.
Allow me to ride on your chariot
As I move forward
In trust and power.
Place the three stones in the earth in honor of Boudicca’s daughters.

Look at the illusion of ownership. Do you believe you truly “own” anything in this world? For example, do any of us really own land … do we own ideas? Or is it that we have simply laid claim to something we believe we’re entitled to? Even inspiration is borrowed from Spirit and shared by all in the Field of Divine Consciousness that permeates everything. Others have thought of even your most ingenious ideas somewhere else in time … and so what?
Life incarnate is short. When you transition, you take nothing with you from the material world. Release your hold on your relationships, your belongings, your home, and all aspects of your life. Let life flow as it will.
Everything is impermanent. Once you recognize that, everything is seen as the living miracle that it really is, and you won’t be frozen into self-induced limitations. It’s time to let go of ownership in general and be grateful for and enjoy what you’ve been gifted with.
You have the power to go the distance, forging ahead whatever the weather. You will most certainly reach your perfect destination. Some person or circumstance brought through synchronicity will certainly appear to help you with your endeavors. You aren’t meant to go this part of the journey alone.
This is also an important time to delegate authority to others so that they may assist you. Currently you’re magnetic to powerful people who are in a position to help make your dreams come true. Remain open to those who are sent to aid you. You can be assured that you will be lifted up and will ride high in victory.
You may have compromised yourself out of fear. Have you been in denial about the truth of your situation? Have you sold yourself short rather than ask for what you really need? Have you given up your dream for another because you fear abandonment?
You are gently reminded that you count. Claim your good and never settle for less. Be fearless and make it so! Why hang around for more disappointment when wonderful adventures and opportunities are waiting to unfold for you?
When you bless the world, it blesses you back. When you say affirming, supportive words, they carry an energy that returns to you in physical form. Remember that each one has power and will resonate into the Universe, seeking its reflection in manifest form.
Your body responds to praise, as does everything in the world around you. Praise it for its inherent health and beauty. Applaud yourself for everything you do, as even the tiniest accomplishments are important. Praise your bills: give thanks for the services you enjoy, and watch the ability to pay them increase as you align with Spirit’s increasing power.
This is also a time to remember the powerful practice of affirmations. Write them down and speak them aloud as a spiritual exercise. Say it is so – and it will be.
My supervisor did an update to the computer program I use at work, it took two hours … and then something went wrong. So, I got to leave an hour early! Surprise!
I went to the park for a walk-about.
Saw some flowers …
Came across a caterpillar munching down dinner.
Ran into a patch of stinging nettles, first time in 40 years. Probably only noticed because my legs were bare. That was fun.
Hope you enjoyed your day my Human (and otherwise) family.
I love you.
PS ~ I found golden grasses!
I also spotted a couple of heart rocks. Love is in the atmosphere!
